Nithyanandapedia
A stage at a Shiva Sutras event with a black backdrop and blue-and-gold draping. A standing figure in a saffron-orange robe with a long red rudraksha mala stands before an ornate gold throne with a red cushion and a gold parasol above it. Long dark hair falls past the shoulders. Flower arrangements in red and white sit on the stage, potted palms flank the set, and a wicker basket marked QUESTION BOX rests at the front. A banner reads Nithyananda Speaks on Shiva Sutras, and two projection screens show the same figure. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robe, long hair and rudraksha mala are visible cues, so this is a candidate present in person.
